Making a Living Co-Production As a Driver in the Search for New Rationalities

MAKING A LIVING CO-PRODUCTION AS A DRIVER IN THE SEARCH FOR NEW RATIONALITIES

BY HEDDA ARLID, GUSTAF SJÖBERG & KLARA SJÖGREN HOLTZ SUMMARY This is a project in the course “Planning & design for sustainable development in a local context” at the master program MPDSD at Chalmers University of Technology, fall semester 2018. It is a strategic proposal for the industrial area Katthavet in Mariestad and a design proposal for the block Kastanjen. It contains a short theoretical background, site analyses and interview material. The project proposes spatial interventions in the block Kastanjen that aim to challenge the industrial large scale rationality through co-use, co-production and mixed driving forces for participating.

AIM & RESEARCH QUESTION AIM FOR OUR PROJECT We aim to challenge the conventional definitions of industrial rationality in order to spark a discussion around how diversified modes of production and productive spaces can contribute to a sustainabe development where Mariestad is a role model municipality.

43 GRAPHIC WORKSHOP PROPOSAL

GRAPHIC/3D PRINTSHOP The print business occupying the building can host a part of the Maker Space more fo- cused on 2D and 3D printing. Through collaborating with other actors, small businesses can acess equipment they could otherwise not afford such as 3D and laser printers.

45 BARN PROPOSAL

EVENT SPACE The old barn is restored by students from the conservation and craft program. The space can be rented out for educational and/or social events, by organizations or private persons. It is also furnished in a way that allows for larger building or art projects which wouldn’t fit in the Maker Space’s facilities.
